This study explores the generation of natural hydrogen through the serpentinization of onshore ultramafic rocks, highlighting its potential as a clean energy resource. By investigating critical factors such as mineral composition, temperature, and pressure, the research develops an empirical model using multiple regression analysis to predict hydrogen generation rates under varying geological c…
The increasing demand for carbon-free energy in recent years has positioned hydrogen as a viable option. However, its current production remains largely dependent on carbon-emitting sources. In this context, natural hydrogen, generated through geological processes in the Earth’s subsurface, has emerged as a promising alternative. The present study provides the first national-scale assessment …
Soil, geochemical, microbiological, and archeological studies were conducted at eight settlements dating from the Paleolithic to Late Medieval and Modern Ages near the southern Trans-Urals Mountains, Russia. The forest-steppe landscapes, rivers, and abundant mineral resources have attracted people to the region since ancient times. Cultural layers (CLs) are marked by finds of ceramics fragments…
Geological borehole descriptions contain detailed textual information about the composition of the subsurface. However, their unstructured format presents significant challenges for extracting relevant features into a structured format. This paper introduces GEOBERTje: a domain adapted large language model trained on geological borehole descriptions from Flanders (Belgium) in the Dutch language…
Rocks formed during different geologic time record the diverse evolution of the geosphere and biosphere. In the past decades, substantial geoscience data have been made open access, providing invaluable resources for studying the stratigraphy in different regions and at different scales. However, many open datasets have information recorded in natural language with heterogeneous terminologies, …
